Because I don&#39;t tweet about things that are directed at them, they probably find my feed boring. (One of my summer school students got me started on Twitter several years ago.)<br /><br />This week I showed students exactly how transparent their tweets are. They were surprised how easily all of their tweets could be located by a search engine. Because of that transparency, I&#39;m not sure of the harm involved in following. <br /><br />Most of my online communication with students comes through our Ning. Everything public is, well, public, and anything private is never deleted. All of that falls within our district&#39;s new social media policy.<br /><br />With all due respect to the diocese, that social media policy is not really in the mainstream of how most current policies are written. That&#39;s more how they looked ten years ago in the first generation of social media policies.Gary Andersonhttps://whatsnotwrong.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
